The Opa-locka Hialeah Flea Market in Miami stole more than 13 million dollars since it started its food stamp scheme. I’m surprised they didn’t get caught sooner because of how openly they were in constant contact with the government.

Some people just truly have no heart. In a video that surfaced the internet, a woman is seen going off on a man who is paying for his groceries using food stamps. The woman can be heard telling the man that her hard earned money is used to pay for his food stamps. The man who by the way has his child in a car seat, is trying to shut the woman up. This woman was clearly out of line if you ask me. She does not know this man from a can of paint so who is she to judge his situation?

So exactly what color is a “welfare queen?” Stereotypes, stigmas and racial profiling don’t apply to the More Than 30 Arrested in NY Food Stamp Fraud. While some ask “does it matter if you’re black or white?” others point out how, well…nobody’s really talking about this. If the arrests were people of color would this be a different story? Is the way we look at food stamp benefits all wrong to begin with?

I would not want to be in the shoes of the president right now. Barack Obama is getting major backlash for signing a bill that means over the next ten years, $8.7 BILLION will be cut from food stamp programs around the U.S. Hit the jump for more details.

Shoppers nation wide were very very disappointed yesterday, as they approached the check out line, pulled out their food stamp debit card and swiped yet nothing happened! Hit the jump to find out the source of the problem!

About a month ago FoxNews followed a surfer / rocker who confessed that although he had a job he made little money and relied on food stamps.. and quite frankly, had no issue with it. Fox news pushed the story as a lazy individual milking the government while he surfs and buys sushi all day, yet the Food Stamp surfer has fired back at critics and is telling his story, Hit the jump for more detail!

Sometimes, it’s hard to believe these stories are true… but it can’t even be made up, even if we tried. A Louisville woman, Tracy Browning, tried to buy iPads with her EBT Card (Food Stamps Card) at the Valley Station Walmart but she gets declined. When she realized it wouldn’t go through, she literally just decides to make a run for it – assaulting a store clerk as she was jetting out. Soon after, she was caught and arrested. I can’t with these people, SMH! See the video after the jump! Tat Wza x Biz Baby

Newark Mayor Cory Booker is going to live off of food stamps for a week, a challenge that he accepted to shed light on the plight of families who have no other options than to use food stamps to survive. A national average shows that people living off food stamps can allocate about $4.44 a day for food. Booker has been using the term #SNAPChallenge on twiiter to spread the word.

I hate to post this story especially after saluting NBA father’s but apparently the mother of Chris Bosh’s first child is now applying for food stamps. Â Read more after the jump. Shay Marie x Sabrina B.
